Here, I borrowed a page from FOOBAR and the too adult comment from a child too young to understand or relate to Phil's ogling of pretty Santa's Elves. What would Michael do if he was aware that the clock has been turned back?

Besides being grateful that he doesn't have to deal with those weird half-people who make demands on his time, he'd probably spend way too much time listening to Elly rattle on about 'good' literature so he can set up an office in the attic.
ReplyDelete"kid who wrote the dragon book" is Christopher Paolini?
ReplyDeleteHa, yeah, being a kid again would be the dream life for Michael, he doesn't have to work, school will be a breeze, and Elly will replace Deanna and do all the women's work around the house.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, with all the free time Michael has, he'll write the Great Canadian Novel in crayon, and be hailed as a child prodigy writer, no matter how bad his writing really is. The fact that he could string a plot together and have characters at five years old would be enough to garner him millions.
Yep, that was a potshot against Paolini. Eragon was baaaad. And boring. Eldest was actually worse! Even the sporking of it was boring under the snark!
